Because it's a stupid hack that should never be necessary: the test cleans up after itself in a "finally" clause. It only looks attractive right now because an earlier bug caused the Windows boxes to swap themselves to death, and the "finally" clause never executed. So, what the heck, sure, I checked that in :-) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
